Tips for Staying out of "The Hole"

Look at a calendar. It's important to remember that days of the week do still exist.

Establish some sort of routine. Routine is comforting, like sticking your feet in warm clothes fresh from the dryer.

Avoid watching too much TV. Fight the allure of Plinko.

Avoid spending too much time on the internet. No matter how many times you refresh your email, no one is going to email you.

Keep up the hygiene. Frequent bathing is a must. The Sniff Test does not, should not, ever replace an actual shower.

Eat somewhat regular meals. Craisins are not a meal.

Go outside. Fresh air and blood circulation are both free.

Change out of your pajamas. Elastic waisted pants will only encourage girth growth.

Obtain human interaction of some sort. "You go girl!" shouted at a Tyra guest on TV does not count.

Keep occupied. "Just lying there" does not suffice as an activity.

Avoid sulking, moping, wallowing, or anything that remotely looks like a VIP invitation to a Self Pity Party.

Don't panic. This is not the end of the world.



Of course, I'm never one to follow my own advice.
